Cambridge GaN Devices at ECCE

Now in its 16th year, ECCE 2024 is sponsored by both the IEEE Industrial Application Society (IAS) and IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS). The event continues to grow, both in attendance and content. ECCE 2024 will feature two-page Late Break Research Briefs, Post-Journal paper presentations, and standard technical papers. It will also offer special sessions on emerging technologies and industry-oriented topics, and of course, tutorials, which have become a staple element of the ECCE technical program.

Andrea Bricconi, Chief Marketing Officer at CGD, commented: “It is important for CGD that we spread our message that GaN is the future of power electronics, in terms of energy efficiency, power density and smallest carbon footprint, and that our ICeGaN GaN power ICs are the most rugged and easiest-to-use devices available. Therefore we are delighted to exhibit for the first time at ECCE.”

At the event, CGD will show a number of demos that employ ICeGaN, including:

• 3 kW PFC reference design
• QORVO motor drive evaluation kit developed in partnership with CGD and utilising ICeGaN
• Slim 100W adaptor
• Half-bridge, full-bridge as well as ICeGaN in parallel evaluation boards
• 300W PFC+LLC
• Single leg of a 3-phase automotive inverter demo board, developed in partnership with French public R&I institute, IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN)
• ICeGaN vs discrete GaN circuits comparison in half bridge (daughter cards) demo board
